(PharmaNewsWire.Com, December 04, 2018 ) According to the new market research report "Breast Imaging Market by Type (Ionizing Technologies (Mammography, Digital Mammography, 3D Mammography, MBI, PET-CT, CBCT, PEM) Non-ionizing Technologies (Breast MRI, Breast Ultrasound, AWBU, Breast Thermography, Optical Imaging)) - Forecast to 2021", published by MarketsandMarkets™, analyzes and studies the major market drivers, restraints/challenges, and opportunities in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the world (RoW).
Based on type, the global breast imaging market is segmented into ionizing breast imaging technologies and non-ionizing breast imaging technologies. The ionizing breast imaging technologies segment is subsegmented into analog mammography, full-field digital mammography (FFDM), 3D breast tomosynthesis, positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), molecular breast imaging/breast-specific gamma imaging (MBI/BSGI), cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), positron emission mammography (PEM), and electric impedance tomography. The non-ionizing breast imaging technologies segment includes breast MRI, breast ultrasound, optical imaging, automated whole-breast ultrasound (AWBU), and breast thermography.
Objectives of the study:
• To define, describe, and forecast the breast imaging market on the basis of type • To provide detailed information regarding major factors influencing growth of the market (drivers, restraints, opportunities, and industry-specific challenges) • To analyze opportunities in the market for stakeholders and provide details of the competitive landscape for market leaders • To forecast revenue of the market segments with respect to four regions, namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World • To strategically profile the key players and comprehensively analyze their market shares and core competencies2 • To track and analyze competitive developments such as new product launches and product enhancements; agreements, partnerships, and collaborations; mergers and acquisitions; and R&D activities in the breast imaging market
On the basis of type, the global breast imaging market is segmented into two major categories, namely, ionizing technologies and non-ionizing technologies. Ionizing technologies are further segmented into eight subsegments, namely, analog mammography, full-field digital mammography (FFDM), 3D breast tomosynthesis, positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT), molecular breast-specific gamma imaging (MBI/BSGI), cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), positron emission mammography (PEM), and electric impedance tomography. The 3D breast tomosynthesis segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the next five years, owing to the increasing regulatory approvals for 3D breast tomosythesis systems, benefits offered by these systems over other technologies, and higher patient accessibility offered by these systems.
The non-ionizing breast imaging technologies segment is classified into five subsegments, namely, breast MRI, breast ultrasound, automated whole breast ultrasound (AWBU), breast thermography, and optical imaging. The automated whole-breast ultrasound (AWBU) segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the next five years, owing to benefits such as high reproducibility, high resolution power with 3D capability, lower false positives, and faster imaging.
This report studies the breast imaging market over the forecast period of 2016 to 2021. The market is expected to reach USD 4.14 Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 8.5% from 2016 to 2021. A number of factors such as rising incidence of breast cancer globally, growing government investments and funding for breast cancer treatment and related research, increasing awareness about early detection of breast cancer, rising geriatric population, technological advancements in breast imaging modalities, and launch of advanced breast imaging systems capable of detecting cancer in women with dense breast tissues are driving the growth of the global breast imaging market. However, high installation cost of breast imaging systems, side effects of radiation exposure, and errors in breast cancer screening and diagnosis are some of the major factors restraining the growth of this market. In addition, stringent regulatory approval procedures and unfavorable reimbursement scenario in developing countries are expected to further restrain the growth of this market in the coming years.
The breast imaging market is segmented into four major regional segments, namely, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. In 2016, North America is estimated to dominate the global breast imaging market, majorly due to the rising incidence of breast cancer, favorable reimbursement scenario, ongoing technological advancements by market players, implementation of new breast density notification law in the U.S., rapid growth in geriatric population, and growing demand for the use of low levels or negligible radiation doses in the region. On the other hand, the Asia-Pacific market is expected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2016 to 2021. The high growth in this market can majorly be attributed to the rising patient population, increasing healthcare expenditure, higher government spending on breast cancer research studies, and implementation of several programs focused on creating awareness about the early detection of breast cancer.
